Private Endpoint Support for Cosmos DB to Azure Data Explorer Synapse Link
Overview
Azure Data Explorer Synapse Link is a new Azure service that enables users to create and deploy real-time analytics and machine learning solutions on their enterprise data in the cloud. With Synapse Link, users can access data in Azure Cosmos DB, Azure SQL Database, and Azure Blob Storage. The new Private Endpoint feature in Synapse Link allows users to securely access data in Cosmos DB while keeping the data private and secure.
How Does it Work?
Private Endpoint is a feature of Synapse Link that allows users to access data in Cosmos DB without exposing the data to the public internet. Instead, the data is accessed through a secure private connection. This connection is established using an Azure virtual network, which is a private network that users can configure to access their data securely.
The connection is established using a private endpoint, which is a secure URL that uses the Azure private network to access the data. This URL is used to connect a user’s application or service to the Cosmos DB database.
Benefits of Private Endpoint
The Private Endpoint feature in Synapse Link provides a number of benefits over traditional public access methods.
Security
The Private Endpoint feature provides enhanced security for users’ data in Cosmos DB by keeping it private and secure. By using the private endpoint, users can keep their data safe from unauthorized access and protect it from malicious attacks.
Performance
Using the private endpoint also provides better performance, as the connection is faster and more reliable compared to public access methods. This is because the data is accessed through the Azure private network, which is optimized for speed and reliability.
Cost Savings
Using the private endpoint can also help users save money, as the cost of accessing the data is lower compared to public access methods. This is because the private endpoint uses the Azure private network, which is cheaper than the public internet.
Conclusion
The Private Endpoint feature in Azure Data Explorer Synapse Link allows users to securely access data in Cosmos DB while keeping the data private and secure. The feature provides enhanced security, better performance, and cost savings compared to traditional public access methods. With the Private Endpoint feature, users can access their data in Cosmos DB securely and cost-effectively.
